"Saturday" is a song by Swedish producer Basshunter. It was released digitally in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2010 as the lead single from his forthcoming fourth studio album. The song samples Reel 2 Real's "I Like to Move It". "Saturday" peaked at number twenty-one on the UK Singles Chart and at number five on the UK Dance Chart. In Ireland it peaked at number thirty-seven.

"Saturday" was written by Danish songwriters Cutfather, Thomas Troelsen and Engelina, and produced by Cutfather, Thomas Troelsen, and Wez Clarke. It samples the melody from Reel 2 Real's "I Like to Move It", written by Erick Morillo and Mark Quashie.

On 14 May 2010, it was officially announced that "Saturday" would be the first single from Basshunter's forthcoming fourth studio album. It premiered on BBC Radio 1 with Scott Mills that same night.

Basshunter said of the song: "It's about Saturdays in general: going out with friends, drinking, clubbing, dancing, meeting girls and then hopefully doing something else when the sun goes down."

The Guardian described the single as "entirely aggregational Euroguff". Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song three out of five stars and wrote: "The production has a hint of RedOne-ness to it, and the chorus features a suspiciously Natalie Horler-esque vocal, but this change of tack still feels fundamentally Basshunter." The BBC's Fraser McAlpine also gave it three stars, commenting that "this represents a development in the Basshunter sound. Where once he seemed to be making dance tracks to sing to, now he seems to be writing with a full song in mind".
